I wrote my first book on JavaScript in 1996. At the time, we had to really dig to fill the book. This was before DHTML, before ECMAScript, before mobile development, and definitely before Node.js. Form validation and popping up alerts were the big things. With this second edition of the JavaScript Cookbook , I had the opposite problem: the world of JavaScript is just too immense to stuff into one book. But I gave it my all.
The world of JavaScript is the key to this book. The use of JavaScript has expanded from the browser to the server, to the mobile environment, to the cloud. Weve gone beyond simple libraries to complex modular systems; from basic animations to rich data visualizations, with a little audio and video tossed in for fun and giggles. Entire applications are served in one HTML page thanks to sophisticated frameworks, and MEAN is no longer an adjective to apply to nasty folk.
Ajax is still around and still relevant, but now its joined by direct and immediate bidirectional communicationno more having to fake server-client communication, because we have it, for real. We can connect to Twitter and Dropbox, create apps for Android devices, and open ePub files directly in the browser for reading. The libraries and modules available in both the client and server take care of so much of the complex, tedious bits, that we can focus on creating whats unique to our applications. Ten years ago, wed be surprised at finding a library that met our needs. Now, were surprised when we dont.
We have all of this, but we still have JavaScript, the language. We still have String and Number, Array and Function, and the most basic of statements:
var
someVar
=
'Hello, World?'
;
However, todays JavaScript is not the same as the language I first wrote about in 1996. Its growing and expanding, with ECMAScript 5, and now ECMAScript 6, and even the newest additions for ECMAScript 7. It seem as if theres a new addition to the language every month. What am I sayingthere is a new edition every month.
Just to make it even more interesting and rich is the increasing number of APIs provided by both standards organizations and sevice providers.
Theres never been a more exciting time to be a JavaScript developer. But it can also be a little overwhelming, and thats the focus of this book: getting a handle on this big wonderful world of JavaScript.
In order to encompass the many subjects and topics reflective of JavaScript in use today, we had to start with one premise: this is not a book for a JavaScript newbie. There are so many good books and tutorials for those new to JavaScript that we felt comfortable setting the bar a little higher than the first edition of the JavaScript Cookbook .
If youve been playing around with JavaScript for several months, maybe tried your hand with a little Node or Ajax development, you should be comfortable with the book material. Some of the subjects might be challenging, but in a good way.
I originally had this idea of a large graphic diagramming the world of JavaScript, which I would split into fragments, which I would then use to introduce each chapter. It didnt take long for me to realize that no component of JavaScript exists in isolation from the others. If anything, JavaScript is one big Venn diagram, with dozens of intersectionsmore of a spirograph than distinct, connected bubbles. So much for grand visualizations. Instead, I split the book into 18 loosely defined chapters, with overlap handled by cross references.
The book is split into two parts labeled Classic JavaScript and JavaScript, All Blown Up .
The classic parts of JavaScript are the solid foundations of the language weve had for the last decade, and arent going away. But they arent standing still, either. We have our friends String, Number, Boolean, Array, Function, and Object, but thanks to ECMAScript 5 and 6, theres a lot more we can do with these objects. In addition, before we can get into the more leading-edge, complex uses of JavaScript, we still need to understand how to use Ajax, work with JSON, create and use libraries, as well as incorporate one of the more popular (jQuery) into our applications. We also need to understand how to work within the browser, which is still the working environment for most JavaScript development, as well as test our creations and make sure theyre accessible.
Now that video and audio, as well as the Canvas element and SVG, are supported in all modern browsers, a basic understanding of these rich media elements is fundamental.
The All Blown Up part of JavaScript is basically everything else. This includes the new objects introduced in ECMAScript 6, JavaScript in the server (Node), complex frameworks (in the server and client), and modular JavaScript. It also includes JavaScript in mobile devices, data visualizatons, graphical tools available in the server, bidirectional client-server communication, and the rich world of available APIs, libraries, and modules.
It seems a bewildering mess at times, but the more examples you try in the different environments, the more you realize that JavaScript is the key that makes it all come together.
A break down of the chapters follows in the next sections.
